The subject of the CD is an interart study of music, art, and literature, specifically T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land. the authors trace their process of formulating the idea and conceptualizing the project. They also detail the initial stages of the project, including the time-intensive efforts of getting permissions for the materials. For the technology portion, they describe how the components were digitized, integrated, and tested. Finally, they discuss how they manufactured and marketed the product, closing with some evaluative comments.
